How Do I Prepare for the Consultation?

Consider preparing a list of questions to discuss with the attorney, in order to ensure that the issues most important to you are addressed. Be prepared to discuss the details of your case, as well as your desired outcomes, especially if your case will be contested.

Please have all court documents with you, if applicable. Feel free to bring a notebook to take notes on the plan of action you will develop together with our Houston family lawyers. Set aside enough time so that you do not have to rush through the consultation, and are able to be calm and focused. Being timely and prepared helps you receive the most information during your initial consultation.
